Housing
Type of housing: I had a room in a shared flat
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
I think this is a good way of living. I had my own room but shared kitchen and bathroom with other students. They were from diferent parts of the world so I also practiced my knowledge in languages.

Personal recommendation
This is a huge University where you can study many different types of subjects. Sometimes though, it is hard to know where to go for getting help with courses and registrations. But generally, I am satisfied.

Final comments
This was a great chance for me to first of all improve my spanish. It is important to make friends also among the spanish people and not only with the other exchangestudents. It was nice to participate in the traditional spanish festivals, as for example the Easter week.

Personal spending habits
As an erasmus student I wanted to travel and to take part of the spanish culture. In Sweden I don't have those costs in the same way. On the other hand, the housing and nightlife was cheaper in Spain.
